Feb. 3 - It's The Woke Folk Again

Today is our cold day.  We knew it was coming but dang, to see the real temp at -9 and wind chill temp at -26 is a jolt anyway.  We currently have a wind chill advisory until noon.  And I have an oil change appointment this morning.  Brrrrr!  Maybe my car won't even start and I can just stay home.

 

Temps jump up tomorrow and will be in the mid-upper 30s for the next week, so that's good.

 

Here is the latest puzzle.  I finished this one yesterday.  Only 750 pieces but still a nice enough challenge.  It's kind of a busy scene and the photo isn't great, but it's a farm garden scene.  Hubby picked the next puzzle already, which is kind of funny because I thought we might be done with them for a while.

 

So okay, something happened yesterday that really pissed me off and is still sort of a slow boil for me.  I'd just been talking a bit in yesterday's post about the woke folk, the social justice warriors, and how they don't stop and think before they jump all over something.  Well, on another blog I follow there was a new post about Harry's book and in the comments on the post there was a mix of people who are either for or against Harry & Meghan.  I think more were against, and it was mainly Meghan they are against.  That part is all fine, but then sure enough, here comes someone . . . posting anonymously, by the way . . . crying racism, and that no one would be attacking her if she wasn't black.  Um, no.  Racism has nothing to do with it.  If you're behaving badly, it doesn't matter what color your skin is or where you come from.  Bad behavior is bad behavior.  I wanted to fire back at this person but I didn't want to fuel those flames on some else's blog.  Other people did though, which I was secretly glad to see.  But there we go again, so quick to play the race card without stopping to look at the situation.

 

It just pisses. me. off.

 

And for the record, I am a Royal Watcher to some extent.  I loooooove Tudor history, love the long standing traditions of the monarchy even though they no longer have power.  I used to like Harry.  I loved the show Suits, which Meghan was known for first, but even then she sort of rubbed me the wrong way.  I was interested and intrigued when the two of them got together and I absolutely loved their wedding!  But then it all fall apart and I do believe she is the driving force behind all that.  On one hand, you could see it as Harry finally finding someone who gave him strength to break away.  Good for him if that's really what he needed for himself.  On the other hand, they claim they just needed to get away from that life to be able to live away from the paparazzi and scrutiny, yet they continue to keep putting themselves in the spotlight.  It's like they are determined to keep pushing their story to prove they were wronged or whatever they claim, like they haven't won over enough people so they keep trying.  To what end?  You wanted to break away and live your lives, so go do that!  I think I still like Harry, just not with Meghan stirring the pot.  (I have not read Spare, yet.  Not sure if I will.)

 

Once again, no one needs to come at me in the comments.  We are all entitled to our own opinions.

 

With that, I am off.  Like I said, I have to brave the cold for that car appointment, and then I'm hoping to play play play the free version of my game today.

 

Happy Friday, y'all!
